TORA: Topological Representation Alignment for 3D Shape Assembly

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2604. 04050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow-matching methods for 3D shape assembly learn point-wise velocity fields that transport parts toward assembled configurations, yet they receive no explicit guidance about which cross-part interactions should drive the motion.

SUFLECA: Scaling Up Feature Learning for CAD-to-image Alignment

SUFLECA is a weakly supervised framework that improves zero‑shot CAD‑to‑image alignment by scaling geometry‑grounded feature learning using Normalized Object Coordinates across up to 12 real and synthetic datasets. It introduces a geometrically consistent matching algorithm that reliably establishes CAD‑to‑image correspondences, enabling accurate, sub‑second alignment without iterative pose refinement. On the ScanNet25k benchmark, SUFLECA achieves 32.8%/42.6% category/instance accuracy, outperforming the strongest zero‑shot baseline by 9.7/12.5 percentage points and surpassing existing pose‑supervised methods for the first time.

TokenMatch: 3D Mesh Correspondence Transformer with Curvature-Guided Tokenisation

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.

UniMate: One Unified Model to Animate Diverse Skeletons

UniMate is a unified foundation model that generates articulated motion for any skeleton from a rigged 3D asset and a text prompt, eliminating the need for test‑time optimization or per‑skeleton retraining. It uses a topology‑aware diffusion transformer that incorporates skeletal topology through graph‑aware attention bias, spectral rotary position embedding, and a global topological conditioner. Trained on the newly curated UniML3D dataset of 13,006 diverse motion sequences, UniMate outperforms existing baselines in quality, generalization, and efficiency, and supports zero‑shot cross‑topology transfer, in‑betweening, expansion, and text‑guided editing.
